Doreen Speckmann Remembered: Virtual Lunch-and-Learn with Iowa Quilt Museum and Wisconsin Museum of Quilts & Fiber Arts
By popular demand we have decided to run this program again! Join us Friday, April 17, 2020, at noon CDT, for a virtual lunchtime chat about decorated quilter Doreen Speckmann. Enjoy a conversation between the Iowa Quilt Museum’s Marianne Fons and Megan Barrett and the Wisconsin Museum of Quilts & Fiber Arts’ Emily Schlemowitz as they talk about Speckmann’s influential life and work amid the exhibition of her quilts, Doreen Speckmann Remembered.
A Madison, Wisconsin-based artist, in 1985, as a relative newcomer to the quilting scene, she made a lasting impression on the judges of the first American Quilters’ Society national quilting competition in Paducah, Kentucky, where her innovative work, The Blade, won the professional patchwork category.
Tune in to hear personal recollections of Speckmann, discussions of her pioneering quilting techniques, and to view this incredible collection. Collaborators and friends, the museums are offering this conversation as a FREE event, with donations encouraged. All donations will be split equally between the two institutions to continue the vibrancy of our programs.
